It is a research hot spot in cognitive electronic warfare systems to classify the electromagnetic signals of a radar or communication system according to their modulation characteristics. We construct a multilayer hybrid machine learning network for the classification of seven types of signals in different modulation. We extract the signal modulation features exploiting a set of algorithms such as time-frequency analysis, discrete Fourier transform, and instantaneous autocorrelation and accomplish automatic modulation classification using naive Bayesian and support vector machine in a hybrid manner. The parameters in the network for classification are determined automatically in the training process. The numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed network accomplishes the classification accurately.

Multifunctional flexible tactile sensors could be useful to improve the control of prosthetic hands. To that end, highly stretchable liquid metal tactile sensors (LMS) were designed, manufactured via photolithography, and incorporated into the fingertips of a prosthetic hand. Three novel contributions were made with the LMS. First, individual fingertips were used to distinguish between different speeds of sliding contact with different surfaces. Second, differences in surface textures were reliably detected during sliding contact. Third, the capacity for hierarchical tactile sensor integration was demonstrated by using four LMS signals simultaneously to distinguish between ten complex multi-textured surfaces. Four different machine learning algorithms were compared for their successful classification capabilities: K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and neural network (NN). The time-frequency features of the LMSs were extracted to train and test the machine learning algorithms. The NN generally performed the best at the speed and texture detection with a single finger and had a 99.2 ± 0.8% accuracy to distinguish between ten different multi-textured surfaces using four LMSs from four fingers simultaneously. The capability for hierarchical multi-finger tactile sensation integration could be useful to provide a higher level of intelligence for artificial hands.

This study compares several well-known machine learning techniques for public-private partnership (PPP) project dispute problems. Single and hybrid classification techniques are applied to construct models for PPP project dispute prediction. The single classification techniques utilized are multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks, decision trees (DTs), support vector machines, the naïve Bayes classifier, and k-nearest neighbor. Two types of hybrid learning models are developed. One combines clustering and classification techniques and the other combines multiple classification techniques. Experimental results indicate that hybrid models outperform single models in prediction accuracy, Type I and II errors, and the receiver operating characteristic curve. Additionally, the hybrid model combining multiple classification techniques perform better than that combining clustering and classification techniques. Particularly, the MLP+MLP and DT+DT models perform best and second best, achieving prediction accuracies of 97.08% and 95.77%, respectively. This study demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of hybrid machine learning techniques for early prediction of dispute occurrence using conceptual project information as model input. The models provide a proactive warning and decision-support information needed to select the appropriate resolution strategy before a dispute occurs.

Obesity or excessive body fat causes multiple health problems and diseases. However, obesity treatment and control need an accurate determination of body fat percentage (BFP). The existing methods for BFP estimation require several procedures, which reduces their cost-effectivity and generalization. Therefore, developing cost-effective models for BFP estimation is vital for obesity treatment. Machine learning models, particularly hybrid models, have a strong ability to analyze challenging data and perform predictions by combining different characteristics of the models. This study proposed a hybrid machine learning model based on support vector regression and emotional artificial neural networks (SVR-EANNs) for accurate recent BFP prediction using a primary BFP dataset. SVR was applied as a consistent attribute selection model on seven properties and measurements, using the left-out sensitivity analysis, and the regression ability of the EANN was considered in the prediction phase. The proposed model was compared to seven benchmark machine learning models. The obtained results show that the proposed hybrid model (SVR-EANN) outperformed other machine learning models by achieving superior results in the three considered evaluation metrics. Furthermore, the proposed model suggested that abdominal circumference is a significant factor in BFP prediction, while age has a minor effect.

The trend of stock price prediction has always been in the focal point of analytical activity in financial domain for both the researchers and investors. Prediction with accuracy is very essential for improved investment decisions that imbibe minimum risk factors. Due to this, majority of investors depend upon that intelligent trading system which generates better forecasting results. As forecasting stock market price with high accuracy is quite a challenging task for the analysts, machine learning has been adopted as one of the popular techniques to predict future trends. Even if there are many recognized analytical time series analysis that are categorized either under soft computing or under conventional statistical techniques like fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, researchers have been looking for more appropriate techniques which can exhibit improved results. In this paper, we developed different hybrid machine learning based prediction models and compared their efficiency. Dimension reduction techniques such as orthogonal forward selection (OFS) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) are used separately with support vector regression (SVR) and teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) to predict the stock price of Tata Steel. The performance of both the proposed approach is evaluated with 4143days daily transactional data of Tata steels stocks price, which was collected from Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). We compared the results of both OFS-SVR-TLBO and KPCA-SVR-TLBO hybrid models and concludes that by incorporating KPCA is more practicable and performs better results than OFS

Abstract Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is becoming an essential component in receiver designs for next-generation communication systems, such as Cognitive Radios (CR). AMC enables receivers to classify an intercepted signal’s modulation scheme without any prior information about the signal. This is becoming increasingly vital due to the combination of congested frequency bands and geographically disparate frequency licensing for the railroad industry across North America. Thus, a radio technology is needed that allows train systems to adapt automatically and intelligently to changing locations and corresponding RF environment fluctuations. Three AMC approaches have been proposed in the scientific literature. The performance of these approaches depends especially on the particular environment where the classifiers are employed. In this work, the authors present a performance evaluation of the Feature-based AMC approach, as this is the most promising approach for railroads in real-time AMC operations under various different wireless channel environments. This study is done as the first one for railroads application where it considers different environments models including Non-Gaussian Class A noise, Multipath fast fading, and their combination. The evaluation is conducted for signals using a series of QAM modulation schemes. The authors selected the signal’s Cumulant statistical features for the feature extraction stage in this study, coupled with three different machine learning classifiers: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) utilizing long-short term memory (LSTM), in order to maintain control over the classifiers’ accuracy and computational complexity, especially for the non-linear cases. Our results indicate that when the signal model noise shows higher non-linear behavior, the RNN classifier on average achieves higher classification accuracy than the other classifiers.

Abstract DNA-binding hot spot residues of proteins are dominant and fundamental interface residues that contribute most of the binding free energy of protein–DNA interfaces. As experimental methods for identifying hot spots are expensive and time consuming, computational approaches are urgently required in predicting hot spots on a large scale. In this work, we systematically assessed a wide variety of 114 features from a combination of the protein sequence, structure, network and solvent accessible information and their combinations along with various feature selection strategies for hot spot prediction. We then trained and compared four commonly used machine learning models, namely, support vector machine (SVM), random forest, Naïve Bayes and k-nearest neighbor, for the identification of hot spots using 10-fold cross-validation and the independent test set. Our results show that (1) features based on the solvent accessible surface area have significant effect on hot spot prediction; (2) different but complementary features generally enhance the prediction performance; and (3) SVM outperforms other machine learning methods on both training and independent test sets. In an effort to improve predictive performance, we developed a feature-based method, namely, PrPDH (Prediction of Protein–DNA binding Hot spots), for the prediction of hot spots in protein–DNA binding interfaces using SVM based on the selected 10 optimal features. Comparative results on benchmark data sets indicate that our predictor is able to achieve generally better performance in predicting hot spots compared to the state-of-the-art predictors. A user-friendly web server for PrPDH is well established and is freely available at http://bioinfo.ahu.edu.cn:8080/PrPDH.

Lamb wave approaches have been accepted as efficiently non-destructive evaluations in structural health monitoring for identifying damage in different states. Despite significant efforts in signal process of Lamb waves, physics-based prediction is still a big challenge due to complexity nature of the Lamb wave when it propagates, scatters and disperses. Machine learning in recent years has created transformative opportunities for accelerating knowledge discovery and accurately disseminating information where conventional Lamb wave approaches cannot work. Therefore, the learning framework was proposed with a workflow from dataset generation, to sensitive feature extraction, to prediction model for lamb-wave-based damage detection. A total of 17 damage states in terms of different damage type, sizes and orientations were designed to train the feature extraction and sensitive feature selection. A machine learning method, support vector machine (SVM), was employed for the learning model. A grid searching (GS) technique was adopted to optimize the parameters of the SVM model. The results show that the machine learning-enriched Lamb wave-based damage detection method is an efficient and accuracy wave to identify the damage severity and orientation. Results demonstrated that different features generated from different domains had certain levels of sensitivity to damage, while the feature selection method revealed that time-frequency features and wavelet coefficients exhibited the highest damage-sensitivity. These features were also much more robust to noise. With increase of noise, the accuracy of the classification dramatically dropped.
